Study Notes
The Scientific Method
- The scientific method is a process for investigating observations, solving problems, and testing hypotheses.
- It involves a series of steps.
- Observations: Identifying and describing a phenomenon or problem.
- Questions: Asking questions based on observations, needing answers.
- Hypotheses: Creating testable predictions or explanations, based on existing knowledge.
- Experiments: Designing and conducting tests to evaluate hypotheses, ensuring controlled variables.
- Data Collection: Gathering and recording data from experiments.
- Analysis: Evaluating data to see if it supports or contradicts the hypothesis.
- Conclusions: Determining whether the hypothesis is supported or not, based on the analysis.
- Communication: Sharing findings, through publications or presentations, for others to review and build on.
- The process can be iterative, with hypotheses revised and further tested based on conclusions.
